Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 548 Are you sure this is science fiction?
Li Haoyu spent a long time explaining. πΉπ 6βπΌβ½Ο π.ππΈΰΉ πΰ΅
Only then did he explain it to Li Xixi and her grandmother.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, loose lips sink ships; one must never let one's guard down.
Li Haoyu quickly poured a full bowl of loach soup for both of them. With the delicious food distracting them, they didn't care about anything else and began to eat heartily.
This resolved the crisis at its root.
After the three finished their meal, Li Haoyu didn't even say a word.
Li Xixi took the initiative to tidy up the table and wash the dishes. Her sensible manner made Li Haoyu feel a little uncomfortable.
She's a completely different person when she's out alone with Li Haoyu. But as soon as Li Xixi is in front of her grandmother, she becomes a completely different person.
They're so well-behaved it's unbelievable!
Li Haoyu didn't have much to do either.
He could only lie in bed and rethink his plans.
In fact, he had prepared many works before coming to this world. However, despite having done a lot of preparation, the timing of Li Haoyu's transmigration was still somewhat sensitive.
This greatly limited Li Haoyu's resource library.
It's not that all those works can't be written. But for now, they have to be put on hold.
The reason Li Haoyu chose the path of plagiarism in this world is that he chose this path.
Actually, he also had his own selfish motives.
Li Haoyu was obsessed with online novels during high school. Coincidentally, a book rental store opened up next to the school, which opened up a new world for him.
Li Haoyu accepted all the books in the rental bookstore, whether they were fantasy, martial arts, or even serialized novels that were not yet finished at the time.
As soon as the rental bookstore received new items, the book lover was like a starving person seeing long-awaited food, immediately renting them out. Even the owner remembered this book enthusiast.
Eventually, even the owners of the bookstores would ask Li Haoyu which novels were good, and he would then recommend them to other students.
This planted a seed in his heart. After graduating from CNC machine tool school, Li Haoyu thought about writing his own online novel.
But after hastily writing tens of thousands of words, it ultimately came to nothing.
This has always been a source of regret for Li Haoyu.
So this time, Li Haoyu has the opportunity to fulfill his dream, even if it's just as a plagiarist, it would be great to experience it.
"onlyβ¦β¦"
"The choice of the first work is crucial."
Li Haoyu looked at the rotten wooden plank bed under the bed.
It makes a piercing sound whenever it rolls over.
He was actually starting to find it hard to accept this. You know, in previous movie worlds, even if the beginning was terrible, at least there was a rented room to live in.
Now he stared at the drafty walls.
Li Haoyu could only cover himself with the blanket tightly to keep the temperature a little higher.
"Li Xixi, what are you looking at?"
Li Haoyu finally couldn't help but speak up.
In fact, Li Haoyu originally wanted to pretend he didn't see it.
But Li Xixi's little head would pop out from the doorway every now and then.
She then tentatively stepped one foot into the doorway.
Its presence is just too strong.
This made it impossible for Li Haoyu to ignore it.
Finally, after Li Haoyu spoke, Li Xixi squeezed through the door with a helpless expression.
"Grandma said she was worried you'd get cold, and that we couldn't burn charcoal in the house. So she asked me to get you a hand warmer."
Li Haoyu glanced at Li Xixi's hand warmer.
This homemade heating device is actually quite simple; it's just a glass bottle filled with hot water. While you can't control the temperature, it's enough to keep your bed warm.
Li Haoyu said, "Then just give it to me directly, I'm really freezing."
Li Xixi pouted: "Then put your clothes on properly. Are you even wearing your pants?"
Li Haoyu looked helpless. "Don't worry, am I that kind of person? If you don't give it to me soon, I'll catch a cold and no one will cook you anything delicious."
Li Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she still didn't dare to get too close to Li Haoyu.
She placed the glass bottle on the table next to Li Haoyu's bed and said softly, "I really don't know what my grandma was thinking. You have hands and feet, yet she insisted that I come and deliver this to you."
Li Haoyu didn't want to get out of bed either, he just reached out and touched something.
The thermos was already in Li Haoyu's bed.
"Please thank Grandma for me, and also thank you for running the errand."
Li Xixi nodded and turned to leave.
Li Haoyu called out to her, "Don't go yet, I think I have something I want to ask you."
Li Xixi stopped in her tracks.
But her eyes still looked impatient, as if to say, "Why are you talking so much?"
Li Haoyu naturally witnessed the whole thing.
However, he decided to let bygones be bygones, since Li Xixi was just a young girl at the moment.
However, Li Haoyu still wanted to talk to someone.
Li Haoyu is just a passerby, while Li Xixi is the protagonist of this era. It's better to leave some things to her to judge.
At this point, Li Haoyu began to analyze this era.
The result is actually not very optimistic.
There's a saying that's been circulating for a long time: "The spring breeze of reform blows across the land."
However, the black soil where Li Haoyu is now located is precisely a place untouched by the spring breeze. It could even be described as a neglected and underdeveloped region.
The only heavy industrial base that the area was once proud of is actually already in decline. It's just that its former glory has overshadowed it, and the market economy will arrive in a few years.
They will get a good talking-to.
After all, those state-owned enterprise employees have been living comfortably for too long.
.........
In fact, looking at the whole book "The Human World"...
We've experienced the Down to the Countryside Movement, the Third Front Construction, the Return of Educated Youth to the Cities, the Resumption of the College Entrance Examination, the Wave of People Going Abroad, Going into Business, Performing Arts Trips, State-Owned Enterprise Reform, Individual Business Operations, and Slum Renovation...
Any one of these things is already quite devastating. βπ³ β βΡπ±π²δΉ.π ππ¦ βπ
Not to mention so many at once
This reminded Li Haoyu of a trending topic on Baidu Tieba.
"If you could travel back 10 years, what would you most want to do?"
Basically, 90% of people would answer "buy a house." But that's all hindsight; anyone can daydream.
If people ten years ago had known that housing prices would rise so ridiculously, they certainly would have sold everything they owned and tried every possible way to speculate on real estate. Unfortunately, life doesn't offer "what ifs."
In the torrent of history, no one can ever know whether their thoughts are right or wrong. Insignificant individuals are like driftwood, drifting away with the tide of history.
This is very similar to the situation Li Haoyu is facing.
Inspiration strikes like lightning.
He suddenly sat up in bed.
"With a creak."
The bed frame seemed to be frightened by Li Haoyu and made a protesting sound.
This startled Li Xixi, who was standing nearby.
She thought that Li Haoyu had gotten angry because she had said a few words to him.
Li Xixi discovered something: Li Haoyu really has a problem.
He seemed normal at first, but he became increasingly strange. If it weren't for his ability to procure food and cook such delicious meals...
Li Xixi probably already protested to her grandmother.
Li Haoyu's reaction, which was like he had come back from the dead, had indeed confused her again.
She stared at Li Haoyu intently.
Is he possessed by an evil spirit?
Li Haoyu also realized that the reaction seemed a bit too strong.
He coughed to cover it up, "I just suddenly thought of something very important and got a little excited. You can just ignore what I just did."
At this moment, Li Haoyu calmed himself down.
He said directly, "I'm planning to make a lot of money, but I need a little help right now. So I'm going to ask you a few questions right away, just answer them honestly."
"If it really works out, you'll have helped me. I definitely won't treat you unfairly."
"ha?"
Li Xixi's expression of confusion grew even stronger.
What the hell is all this?
Li Haoyu saw that Li Xixi looked completely confused.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I plan to make money by writing books. I have a few ideas now, so listen to which one interests you the most."
Li Xixi finally understood what he meant.
It turns out that Li Haoyu wanted to be a writer.
This is outrageous!
In Li Xixi's mind, a writer should at least be like her former Chinese teacher, refined and polite, wearing glasses, and always carrying a thick classic.
Li Xixi couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Haoyu.
This guy is already so old, and he's always making a fuss. All he talks about is making money. It would be a miracle if someone like that became a writer.
Li Xixi originally wanted to say directly, "It's no wonder someone like you can't become a great writer."
But she was also very envious of Li Haoyu's fish-catching secrets.
Ever since she went fishing with Li Haoyu last time, Li Xixi has tried to replicate Li Haoyu's actions on her own. That way, she can catch fish and exchange them for food coupons herself in the future.
No longer threatened by this bad guy, they can now enjoy food rations and live a happy life where they can eat their fill every day.
But the final result greatly disappointed Li Xixi.
Let alone fish, I haven't even succeeded in catching loaches more than a few times.
She spent the entire afternoon collecting only a few seashells washed ashore by the river.
This greatly disappointed Li Xixi.
She carried a fish basket and sprinkled coarse salt just like Li Haoyu. Even her movements were exactly the same, yet she failed every time.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xixi came to a conclusion.
She felt that Li Haoyu must have some secret method that he hadn't told her.
If Li Xixi put herself in his shoes, she wouldn't easily teach such a secret to someone else. Therefore, she planned to endure the humiliation for a while, wait until she could extract the secret, and then forcefully kick him out of her house.
That way, Grandma will probably have nothing to say.
Li Xixi thought of this.
She forced a smile. "Just ask me anything, and I'll answer you honestly."
Li Haoyu found Li Xixi's reaction a bit strange.
Although she was smiling, her expression was a little stiff.
There's a very discordant feeling about it.
However, he has finally found inspiration, so he doesn't care about anything else now.
Do you know anything about science fiction?
Li Xixi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Haoyu. "It's just a novel about aliens. Who are you looking down on?"
"You actually knew that?" This surprised Li Haoyu a little.
He also believes that science fiction is still relatively niche in this era.
I didn't expect that even Li Xixi knew about it.
Li Xixi said, "You know, if you go out on the street and ask any kid their dream, ninety percent of them will want to be a scientist."
"If I weren't so bad at math, I'd want to be a scientist too. Right now, my wish is to become a millionaire so I can eat meat every day..."
Li Haoyu noticed that Li Xixi was starting to go off-topic.
He interrupted Li Xixi's daydream, "Can you hurry up and get to the point?"
Li Xixi then said, "I haven't finished yet. How do you know I'm talking nonsense? If you want to be a scientist, isn't understanding UFOs and aliens the most basic thing you should know?"
"I not only know about science fiction, but I also know about crop circles. I've heard that once someone goes in, they can't get out."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Haoyu interrupted Li Xixi again.
Otherwise, she would have dragged this matter into something else entirely.
It seems that science fiction still has a popular audience.
As long as I write some positive science fiction novels, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Actually, science fiction isn't anything new.
Science fiction, simply put, is technology plus fantasy.
Or rather, they are people's reasonable speculations and conjectures about the future, the world, and humanity. It's just that science fiction novels are all centered around technology.
Do you think science fiction is far removed from your life?
Li Haoyu suddenly turned around and asked Li Xixi this question.
"Of course it's very far away. I've only heard about it from other people."
Li Xixi, puzzled, said, "You have to be lucky to see aliens."
"Do you believe it's true?" Li Haoyu asked again.
"I don't know, but I think there must be a reason why so many people are saying it," Li Xixi replied.
Li Haoyu nodded in satisfaction.
He took out a pen and paper and prepared to create something immediately.
This nonsensical questioning ended abruptly.
Li Haoyu ultimately decided to start with science fiction novels.
There are just too many famous authors of science fiction.
However, some foreign science fiction writers also have many classic works. But considering the practicalities of cultural differences and the need for immersion, it's more appropriate to focus on domestic science fiction.
The first submission certainly can't be a million-word novel.
Therefore, we can only start with short science fiction stories.
Moreover, short stories sometimes showcase skill more effectively. Often, writing a good article, a novel, or a poem doesn't require too many fancy tricks; just making good use of a single point is enough.
Just like singers all know the importance of melody, but only a few can use it in a way that gets others to applaud.
Are you going to start writing now?
Li Xixi had just experienced that nonsensical conversation.
She was still a little dazed, but when she saw Li Haoyu about to start writing, she realized he was about to start.
This surprised her greatly.
After all, doesn't a novel require repeated brainstorming?
Are science fiction novels really that simple?
"I'm a little curious, can I take a look?"
Li Xixi couldn't contain her curiosity.
She directly asked Li Haoyu.
Li Haoyu nodded. "I'll start writing now. If you want to watch, just don't make a sound and watch from the side."
Li Xixi hadn't expected this request either.
Li Haoyu agreed so easily.
After seeing the question, Li Xixi said with a bit of surprise:
"A rural teacher? Are you sure this is science fiction?"
At this moment, Li Haoyu had already written the title, which was just four simple words.
"The Rural Teacher"
